Johanna Kippo

I am responsible for the international strategic communications of Sitra’s work on data, artificial intelligence and democracy.

I have a long international career in journalism, having worked at the Finnish public broadcasting company Yle, the leading newspaper Helsingin Sanomat as well as in foresight companies. I hold two Master of Arts degrees and studies in futures studies and service design.

What motivates me at Sitra is the long-term work for tackling the most pressing challenges of our time. The challenges Finland faces cannot be solved by national efforts alone – solutions often need to be found at the EU level or even more broadly. Communication is essential to inspire more people to engage in shaping our shared future and driving change.
